Step-Two

Some days are like this.
Skipping a dose
is like missing a step in the dark.
Sometimes the day compounds
I put down the bottle
unopened
and then I see your face
shining up at me
photograph clean
and I don’t just miss one
I fall down the whole flight.
Love is silly
take deep calming breaths
because this will pass.
I’ll forget.
Sooner or later.
Twiddle my thumbs for a bit.
Watch some T.V..
Cruise the web.
I still remember.
Lo and behold.
The doctor’s out on this one.
Even he knows
you had beautiful eyes.
Storyteller girl
I could use a story
because I’m wide-awake
and I can’t sleep.
